Tony Blair Ditches Trip To Gaza After Warning Of Assassination Attempt

The former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is now the "envoy" for the Middle East peace ‘quartet’ of the United Nations, European Union, United States, and Russia. On his way to the Gaza strip he was called by Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak about Israeli intelligence warning of a "serious threat" of assassination to Blair by Palestinian terrorists. Blair said that the intelligence was "credible" and "specific" warranting his turnaround. What is especially interesting about this is that Tony Blair has always and consistently been in favor of pressuring Israel to make concessions to the Palestinians and has been a strong supporter of a Palestinian state in all the disputed territory. They want him dead. Go figure.
